It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

Outside the secret territory.

"Dear homeroom teachers, based on your understanding of your students, who do you think will come in first place in this final exam?"

Yuan Lei leisurely poured a cup of tea for each of the four homeroom teachers, then looked at them and asked.

Upon hearing Yuan Lei's words, the homeroom teacher of Class Two laughed and said, "That goes without saying, it's definitely Hu Fei from Class Three! Which of us homeroom teachers doesn't know that guy Hu Fei!"

After hearing this, the homeroom teacher of Class 3 quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not necessarily true. As you all know, Hu Fei's character and temper are exceptionally bad."

"Furthermore, this final exam won't just be about individual ability; teamwork is also extremely important. Lao Qian, I think Ding Heng from your class has a great chance!"

Old Qian, who was also Lu Ya's homeroom teacher, quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. Although Ding Heng has a good character and temper, his strength is still a bit lacking."

"Passing this final exam is no problem, but competing for first place is still too difficult."

At this point, Old Qian paused, then looked at Yuan Lei and asked, "By the way, Examiner Yuan, who do you think has the best chance of winning first place this time?"

When asked by Lao Qian, Yuan Lei pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, I don't really care who is number one."

"More than who is number one, I hope that more dark horses will emerge from this final assessment."

Yuan Lei's words were impeccable. After all, he was an examiner for this final assessment. If he really made a statement like "I hope so-and-so will be number one," he would definitely be questioned for being biased in the assessment process.

While Yuan Lei was discussing the final exam with these homeroom teachers...

Old Qian suddenly noticed that the class teacher of Class 1 hadn't said a word from beginning to end, but was staring blankly in the direction of the bridge at the entrance to the secret realm.

Old Qian jokingly asked, "Old Liao, why are you so quiet? What are you looking at so intently?"

When Lao Qian asked him this, the class teacher finally came to his senses. He swallowed hard and said, "Look, doesn't something seem off about the secret realm?"

Upon hearing what the class teacher said, everyone turned to look towards the bridge.

Suddenly, the thick fog that had been shrouding the steel bridge turned pitch black, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, which was quite alarming.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yuan Lei and the other three homeroom teachers felt a sudden chill run down their spines.

Yuan Lei stood up abruptly: "Everyone, wait here for me, I'll go in and check the situation."

With that, Yuan Lei quickly set off towards the steel bridge, and soon his figure disappeared into the black mist.

However, less than two minutes later, Yuan Lei emerged from the black mist, but this time his expression was exceptionally grim.

The homeroom teachers present also sensed that something was wrong, and they quickly asked, "Examiner Yuan, what happened in the secret realm?"

Yuan Lei's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, enunciating each word clearly, "The Evil Spirit Realm is out of control. We can't enter the entrance now!"

.........

Meanwhile, in the secret realm.

"Liu Yitong, wait for me! We've come so far, let me rest for a bit!"

Jiang Fan, panting heavily, sat down by the roadside and refused to get up no matter what.

Seeing Jiang Fan's attitude, Liu Yitong felt helpless, feeling that teaming up with Jiang Fan was the worst luck imaginable.

But all he could do now was try to persuade them, saying, "This is a secret realm after all; it's not safe to stay here too long."

"Keep pushing, we're almost at the exit. Once we're out of the secret realm, you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Fan shook his head: "I can't go on anymore, I really can't walk anymore, let me rest for a while."

Guo Song chimed in, "Yeah, let's take a break. It'll be dawn soon, and we'll be safe after that. A little rest won't hurt."

Hearing Guo Song's words, Liu Yitong subconsciously looked up at the sky.

As dawn broke, the sky was no longer pitch black; a hint of light was appearing on the horizon.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be dawn in a little while.

With that in mind, Liu Yitong reluctantly agreed and stopped urging the two of them.

Guo Song suddenly asked, "By the way, we failed the assessment this time. What are your plans for the future?"

Liu Yitong shrugged and replied, "What else can I do? Study hard for the makeup exam, I'm not planning on repeating a year!"

Guo Song nodded: "Count me in, I'll go with you, I don't want to repeat a year either."

At this point, Guo Song suddenly paused, then looked at Jiang Fan and asked, "Jiang Fan, do you want to come along?"

Jiang Fan yawned and said lazily, "Forget it, I haven't thought about it yet. I just want to get some sleep after I get out of here. We'll talk about the rest later."

Seeing Jiang Fan's attitude, Guo Song stopped asking questions.

At this moment, Liu Yitong urged again, "You've rested enough, let's hurry up and go, or it'll be dawn..."

However, Liu Yitong suddenly stopped speaking at this point. He stared blankly at the sky, as if a stone was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Guo Song also noticed Liu Yitong's unusual behavior. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong, Lao Liu?"

Liu Yitong swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice, "Look at the sky, the sun in the sky!"

Upon hearing Liu Yitong's words, Guo Song and Jiang Fan both looked in the direction Liu Yitong was pointing with puzzled expressions.

Immediately afterwards, as if they had realized something terrifying, their expressions turned terrified in unison.

The sun, which had just crossed the horizon, was now visibly setting, and the previously slightly pale sky was quickly darkening.

In just a few minutes, darkness enveloped the earth once again!

........

In the hospital, Yang Feng yawned as he got up from his hospital bed.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and drew back the curtains by his bed, expecting a bright and sunny day to greet him.

When Yang Feng saw the scene outside the window, he was immediately stunned.

All that could be seen outside the window was darkness; the night still enveloped the earth.

This left Yang Feng somewhat bewildered.

Could it be that I'm not fully awake and am hallucinating?

Or, should I sleep a little longer?

Without hesitation, Yang Feng pulled the covers over his head and went back to sleep.

.......

It wasn't just Liu Yitong and Yang Feng.

At this moment, the students in the secret realm had already noticed the changes within it.

Some of them were worried, some were confused, while others realized something and their expressions became extremely frightened.

What went unnoticed was an abandoned amusement park located several kilometers outside the town.

This amusement park, which had been abandoned for who knows how many years, seemed to come alive at this moment.

First, the amusement park's dazzling neon lights lit up, their colorful lights twinkling against the dark night sky, illuminating the entire park.

Then came a creaking sound, and the already rusty carousel began to turn slowly, while ethereal and eerie music filled the empty amusement park.

Then came a series of eerie giggles from inside the haunted house, the roller coaster roared past on its tracks, and the pirate ship swung wildly...

The amusement park was completely deserted, but now it has become eerily lively!
